Raindrops

Grey
Oppressive
foreboding sky
making her shy
an inner voice exclaims,
"I don't want to run in this!"
the bus stops
she finds the trail
green lushness stops her in her
already sodden tracks
deeper in this green world
she begins to see raindrops bounce off leaves
and even her nose

she absorbs this wet world
embracing the sensations it offers
she stops again to examine the drops
suspended on a clover - perfect little orbs

she wonders...
if it wasn't for the weather, they might have been tears
the tears of a jilted lover pining for past and lost years
